USAF for the past 10 years, originally a U2 crew chief but crossed into the Air Transportation 2T2 career field. Just bought my house a year ago and have a wife in the military as well and two wonderful kids! i unfortunately never got a chance to buy a brand spankin new raptor since i was hesitant on paying $50k+ for a truck (never owned one prior always had imports) so when i cam across a 2010 w/ 17k miles for $38k out the door i jumped on it! I do wish i could have gotten a brand new one but honestly except for the cooled seats and the screen in the gauge cluster mine has all the bells and whistles... happy as can be and only a year away from owning the truck outright!

I used to be a top salesman at verizon but now I run over a dozen stealth ebay accounts, working from home.

I currently sell mostly AT&T iPhone unlocks and some cell phones, of those, mostly iPhones

I sometimes get paid to tune evos too

Im looking to soon diversify my items sold on ebay, and I'm trying to soon learn how to trade stocks on the daily.

Im beginning to apply to sales engineer jobs as well. Didn't finish my mechanical degree but from what I've learned, its not always necessary.

I'm a 43 year old oil and gas Consultant. Most people call us the "company man". I'ved lived the "money" life and have decided that good friends and good time are way more important then material things. I still have the big house (for now) and a rental property down the road but all of the toys are gone and not missed. I decided to buy and mod my Raptor as my daily driver when I'm home, which is only two weeks out of the month. I think success is meaured differently by each individual here. My measures of success are the 4 kids I raised and the thoughtful adults that they have become.

I am an Engineer/Manager in a Carbon Black Plant with no children (unable to have them) and a frugal wife that works with a modest salary. I am trying to come up with a second career that may fulfill a bigger life purpose and/or afford me the time to go play more and the flexibility to visit my family more. I believe....WORK HARD....PLAY HARD....GO FISHIN'!

Successfully retired after 36 years, 3 months, 19 days of career civilian service in the US Army.

One thing I learned from that experience is that everything tastes like chicken.
Except chicken.
